Background technology
Gout is that its sickness rate increased year by year due to purine metabolic disturbance and urate excretion reduced.The sickness rate difference of various countries, nearly 10 annual morbidities in Asia rise gradually.Foreign data shows that the sickness rate of adult's hyperuricemia is up to 5%, and the prevalence of gout reaches 0.13%-0.37%.Along with improving constantly of China people people life level, people's dietary structure has very big change, high purine, high protein, higher fatty acid.Enter 21 century, goat has become the human second largest metabolic disease after diabetes.Clinical characters is: hyperuricemia, acute arthritis are shown effect repeatedly, tophus formation, chronic arthritis and joint deformity, and urate calculus and gouty parenchymal lesion of the kidney occur in the course of disease later stage.This disease generally has been mainly in family history male more than 30 years old, and clinical manifestation is an acute gouty arthritis: many nights and burst close to daybreak, get involved joint and big toe; Also can cause renal calculus and nephropathy: the kidney urate calculus blocks urinary system and causes renal colic and hematuria, and most of patients has renal hypertension and albuminuria, and minority can develop into renal failure.Gout has become one of the 21st century new urgency that faces of whole world disease to be controlled.
The general intermittent attack of gout mainly shows as position rednesses such as big toe joint, ankle joint and articulations digitorum manus during morbidity, and be attended by acupuncture, the sharp property pain as lancinating, the most of patients hyperpyrexia that also can occur together.The gout calculus will appear in the patient of the general course of disease above 5 years, the gout calculus can cause the joint gross distortion, the patient can't normally be walked, even can't hold every-day objects such as getting pen, book, chopsticks, tophus is treated untimely words ulceration voluntarily, wound is not healed year in year out, and finally can disable because of infection forces patient's amputation.Part patient also can be because of diseases such as the concurrent coronary heart disease of gout, hypertension, diabetes.Especially the course of disease surpasses the gouty nephropathy patient more than 10 years, if the state of an illness is not controlled, is easy to cause renal colic, hematuria kidney until causing renal failure and uremia, and final, the patient who has has to rely on renal transplantation to earn a bare living.
On therapeutics, antigout drug is primarily aimed at the pathophysiological mechanism that gout takes place, and can synthesize, promote urate excretion or inflammation-inhibiting reaction to bring into play the gout effect by suppressing uric acid.Non-salicylic acid NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug) and colchicine are mainly adopted in the treatment of gout acute attack, and the main therapeutic purposes of chronic gout are to reduce uric acid content in the blood, probenecid commonly used and allopurinol etc.Yet these medicines are all limited because of curative effect, the big clinical practice of untoward reaction is limited.Therefore, still there is not ideal gout treatment medicine clinically.
Gouty arthritis (
Gouty arthritis, be to increase GA), thereby urate crystal is deposited on a kind of metabolic osteoarthritis that the joint causes by blood uric acid concentration due to the purine metabolism obstacle.Uric acid sodium (monsodium urate, MSU) crystal is proved to be the non-microorganism sexually transmitted disease (STD) substance of GA, and its inductive immune inflammation plays an important role in the morbidity of GA.
Acute GA outbreak is mainly by synovial membrane inflammatory cell infiltration, uric acid deposition, tissue local necrosis, early stage urate crystal comes off from the synovial membrane of calmness and enters the synovial fluid, protein in the synovial fluid is adsorbed in crystal surface immediately, and engulfed by synovial cell, multinuclear leucocyte, monocyte, macrophage, due to the synovial membrane surface congestion and edema, cell infiltration.On therapeutics, at present medicine such as on-steroidal AID, colchicine etc. are all limited or the heavier clinical practice of untoward reaction is limited because of curative effect.Therefore, it is significant to continue to explore the high-efficiency low-toxicity medicine for the treatment of acute GA.
The Chinese herbal treatment ischemic diseases is with a long history, but according to modern medicine, especially evidence-based medicine EBM standard, still do not have conclusive evidence at present.If can find a kind of effective angiogenesis promoting chemical compound from the Chinese herbal medicine active component, this is significant to the treatment that explanation and this chemical compound of Chinese herbal treatment ischemic diseases are used for ischemic diseases.

Discuss
Acute GA is that urate crystal is deposited on tissues such as joint capsule, synovial membrane, cartilage and sclerotin because of the blood uric acid increases, and stimulates the joint and the ankle joint synovial membrane that causes and the pathology damage and the inflammatory reaction of surrounding tissue.MSU is used to one of method of inducing by rat acute GA model at Chang Zuowei instrument medicine medically, and this method has simply, reaches fast the success rate advantages of higher.Therefore, this experiment adopts this method to duplicate acute GA model.Found that carrying out property of gait scoring increases, the obvious swelling in pathological changes joint, prompting modeling success.
At present, anti-gout drugs mainly contains and suppresses the synthetic medicine of uric acid such as other purine, the medicine of increase uric acid discharge such as medicine such as the colchicine and the nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug etc. of probenecid and inhibition leukoplania, but all there is untoward reaction in various degree in these medicines, thereby clinical practice is limited.ICA is the main effective ingredient of the flavonoid of Chinese medicine Herba Epimedii, has and discovers that ICA is a kind of natural anti-inflammatory drug.This experiment finds that ICA can obviously improve the ankle joint synovial membrane pathological lesion that acute GA rat model ankle swelling degree and MSU cause, reduce the gait scoring, blood and hydrarthrosis inflammatory cell infiltration are clearly better, show that ICA has certain preventive and therapeutic effect to the rat acute GA due to the MSU, showed that there is good potential applicability in clinical practice in ICA aspect the acute GA of treatment, is worth further further investigation.
The present invention finds that icariin has preventive and therapeutic effect to gouty arthritis, comprises acute gouty arthritis and chronic gout joint, and proves by zoopery, and icariin can alleviate uric acid sodium really and induce acute gouty arthritis.Therefore icariin is used to prepare anti-gout drugs, can be the treatment gout a kind of natural drug is provided, thereby reduce the untoward reaction of using anti-gout drugs to cause, excavate the new purposes of specificity monomer icariin on gout in the known Chinese herbal medicine Herba Epimedii, opened up new application.The further research though its mechanism is still needed,, the present invention be used for acute GA for ICA follow-up study the basic pharmacology foundation is provided.Material source of the present invention is extensive, is easy to obtain, be used to prepare medicine simple, have a better therapeutic effect.
